I am working on getting parts. Apart from the odd pieces I pick up on Bricklink and evilbay, and strategically picking up sets I can cannibalise, I have also started asking local charity shops to put aside any pieces of Lego they get come in for me (they're not allowed to sell toys for 'elf & safety reasons, but nothing about selling them to adult collectors). The thing that is holding me back now is the lack of parts. Once that problem starts solving itself, well, we shall see.

As for what to call my faction, I have ideas, but I think I will have to write some bullshit before they come to the fore...

THESE! The revolvers as pistons is brilliant. Then I saw the froggy hood ornaments and I nearly l nearly lost my mind. I had no idea those came in any color other than green. The other vehicles are good, too. And mad props for finding a good use for those awful LEGO tommy guns.

Oh I cannot claim credit for finding a use for those awful Lego Tommy guns - that is how the build on the Pharaoh's Quest biplane went. The only alteration I have made to that biplane is I removed the crappy jewel-scooper arm assembly off the bottom. I also want to extend the cockpit back two studs to make it a two-seater, but I need the parts to do that first...

You will note that I have now called my faction the Anarcho-Syndicalist Adventurer's Guild, or ASAG for short. It is led by a Peach by the name of Grunge Smith. Now I just need a spare slot on the galaxy map and a planet (they haven't got off-world, yet).
